we got a risk of strong storms from mobile, alabama up to pittsburgh, as far south as the dell ma va peninsula. can't rule out tornadoes with the system. here is what we are looking for. it's bringing a lot of rain. it's got a lot of energy. the jet stream is moving on top of it. we look to the thunderstorms to develop ahead of it. we may see tornadoes. behind it, colder air wrapping around the system. it's going to bring snow. anywhere from two to six inches of rain into the interior sections of new england. flood watches are up in pennsylvania, new york state and behind the system as cold air is drawn in, we are looking at a lot of snow. anywhere from a foot of snow in parts of iowa to a foot of snow in parts of wisconsin, the u.p. of michigan and expecting snowfall amounts upwards of about six to 12 inches or many as you get into northern wisconsin as well. as we watch the system, we are going to see more happening. we expect more tornado watches and warnings as the day wears on. >> thanks very much. >>> travel is messy for friends on the west coast. >>> natalie is at the news des
